Bonne Anniversaire, Sophie!

However health conscious you are, however good care you take of your health, it is difficult for a woman to remain a leggy stunner at 50 years old.But not for Sophie.

Sophie la Girafe, the chewable rubber baby's toy, celebrates her 50th year this month. Over thirty million have been sold since Vulli, a company based in the Haute-Savoie region of France, started producing it in 1961. Hand-made from natural rubber and non-toxic paint, Sophie is completely safe for chewing by babies.

To celebrate Sophie's birthday, Vulli has been running a competition to design Sophie's birthday card, while Gauthier, Swarovski and Escada havedesigned her party outfits.
